On October 9, 2026, Okta highlighted new research promoting phishing-resistant authentication as AI-driven phishing threats gain attention. This emphasis follows the 2026 Global State of Authentication survey, conducted jointly by Yubico and Okta, which indicated many enterprises face increased phishing exposure as attackers leverage AI tools. The survey, first reported on October 8, covered 1,890 technology and security professionals across nine countries, revealing a significant gap between security knowledge and practice. Nearly half of security professionals still rely on passwords, even as security leaders expressed confidence in their organizations’ defenses against persistent password use, fragmented login systems, and successful AI-driven attacks.
